Assessing the damage in Island Park and Oceanside
Alex Costello/Herald
A tattered flag flew in front of a house on Oceanside Road in Oceanside.

Most of the flood waters have receded, the damage on the South Shore was still visible, especially in Island Park.

Electricity is intermittent in Oceanside and completely absent in Island Park. The further south one goes, the stronger the scent of moisture and wet wood becomes. People have already begun the cleanup, piling up curbs next to their house with bags full of the sogging and warped remains of their furniture and belongings.

But the cleanup is happening. There's no word yet on how long cleanup will take, or how much damage has been done.

Looking for news of Jennifer and Marlin Gillespie who live on Ocean Harbor Drive. I haven't heard anything since yesterday, Hope all is well and we love you. dad

I am from Oceanside Cove. It is ok. Most people had some sort of water damage on cars and some of the lower lying areas of the complex got water in the front door if they were on the bottom. There are tons of huge dead fish lying all over the ground and there is no power.

My sisters live on bennett street and supposedly have had 6 feet of water in their garage and basements. Cell service is non-existent and I can't reach them Has anybody any news on Bennett Street?

My family (the Tavorminas) live in Island Park on Parente Ln and my Mom is there visiting (we now live in California). Haven't heard from them since Monday. If any contact with them, please email me joeyjetsfan@msn.com.

Any word on Sunset Avenue along the canal?

Did water get up to those houses?
